I’m a lighthouse lover. To me they symbolize many positive things including quiet strength, service, sacrifice for the good of others, a beacon of hope, rising above challenges, a friend reaching out to help, standing up for those in trouble, competence and confidence, a safe haven, steadfastness, reliability and responsiblity, being able to stand up to and get through life’s mightiest storms, and more. In short, they model the type of person I aspire to be.
And they are beautiful to me. I’m blessed to live fairly close to several lighthouses on the U.S. West Coast.

Dear Russ, from what I’ve read on your blog, I think, no actually I’m sure, that you lready are a bright lighthouse that shines thorough this blog. 🙂
Thank you, my friend. Sometimes I think I could use a much larger and brighter bulb!

I love the lighthouse symbolism, too. I think it started early in my life with our Sunday School teacher singing “This Little Light of Mine…” Keep on shining, Russ. Your light encourages me. I need to get back to my blog now that Thanksgiving company is gone and my “free time” is my own ;o)
Thank you for your kind comment, Jan. I loved that Sunday school song too. It contains a great meesage for children and adults. I’m glad that you are going to have more time to blog as I enjoy your posts.
